Chapter 287 Fang Zixi Faints
In less than half an hour, all the goods in the Rouge Shop were sold out.
The merchants standing outside who saw this scene were sweating. In less than two hours, a rouge shop earned several thousand taels of silver. This was under the purchase limit. If there was no purchase limit, those girls who left disappointed would not have been able to leave without spending a penny.
This kid Xu Yunfan owes a lot, but damn, he also earns a lot!
Now, who would dare to say that this junior is fooling around?
Damn it, if this is also nonsense, they wish all their younger generations would act as nonsense as Xu Yunfan.
Qin Run smiled happily, "Yeah, but we can't make this much money every day. Last night was the first day of opening, and everyone was just joining in the fun and seeing the novelty. I guess there won't be so many customers later."
That being said, Qin Run actually knew clearly in his heart that after last night, the reputation of the Food City would only get louder and louder, and there would be no such thing as a lack of customers.
This morning the store manager came over to report that some of the clothes and skirts that weren't selling well last night were unsold. As soon as the store opened this morning, a bunch of little girls and boys started clamoring to wear Barbie skirts and Prince Harry costumes, making so much noise that it almost made my ears burst.
Lord Qin was laughing at that time, wondering how Xu Yunfan could be so capable.
Storybooks drive the sales of children's clothing and some jewelry in jewelry stores. Some little girls are the eldest daughters at home. The princesses in the storybooks not only dress like this, but also wear jewelry on their heads. Now that they have bought the princess dress, how can they be without jewelry?
Qin Erzhujun said happily: "You are wrong. Just arrange it and ask the factory to increase production. Last night, many shops did not have enough goods to sell."
"Well, I will take care of this matter, but there are still a few workers. There were too many people last night. Fortunately, people who live nearby in the village went to help, but it is not appropriate to ask them to help every day. Dad, what do you think, do you continue to arrange the workers, or do I recruit them myself?" Qin Run asked.
Most of the people in the Food City were recruited by Qin Feiyu, and they had all been trained. At the same time, most of these people were men who had been on the battlefield.
Not only did Qin Feiyu arrange people to go in, but Xiao Hengzhi also asked for some places.
Qin Feiyu: "I'll take care of it. Oh, and the food city is open. Does Yunfan have anything else to do recently?"
"What could possibly happen to him?" Xiao Hengzhi took a sip of tea. "I just saw him the other day, desperate for his life. Run'er, you should take care of him. Otherwise, I'm really worried that this kid will get out of control one day."
Qin Run smiled helplessly, "Father, Yunfan knows how to act."
Sense of proportion?
If Xu Yunfan knew his limits, he would have written Xiao Hengzhi's name backwards.
Just two days ago, this kid was wearing something very cool, with his hands and calves exposed, a strap on his forehead, wrist guards on his wrists, and something under his armpit that he said was a basketball. He and several other kids were rushing out of the city.
It was not enough that Xu Yunfan dressed coolly himself, he also dressed up the younger ones nicely. Many times, when they went out, they immediately made a splash on the street.
I have to say, this good-looking guy would still look incredibly handsome even if he didn't wear anything.
Yesterday, countless boys and girls went to the food city to watch Xu Yunfan play basketball. It was quite noisy. If Xu Yunfan had not been followed by a few martial arts servants, with his clean and sunny look yesterday, he might have been raped by someone who was interested in him.
According to Xu Yunfan's request, Qin Run built a playground next to the food city, which had half a basketball court. Xu Yunfan took the children to exercise, and when they were hot, they went to the food city to eat whatever they wanted, such as double skin milk, popsicles, etc.
There is nothing wrong with eating, drinking and having fun. Xu Yunfan has not missed any of them, but he has to take care of the children. Xiao Hengzhi naturally won't say anything about this.
What gave Xiao Hengzhi a headache was that Qi Xiu Ze and others also came back to take part in the provincial examination. Xu Yunfan took them to the Food City to play for a day, and then committed suicide the next day.
Xiao Hengzhi saw with his own eyes that Xu Yunfan was dressed in black, with no one knowing what he was carrying on his body. Under the gaze of a group of young masters, he stood on a wooden cart and let the black horse in front of him pull him straight down the slope.
At that moment, Xiao Heng's heart almost jumped to his throat.
"Yun Fan!!" Xiao Hengzhi was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream out, and his legs went weak.
Qi Xiu Ze and the others were almost scared to death and were dumbfounded. They only knew that Xu Yunfan said he wanted to do something different today, but they didn't know he was going to commit suicide.
How the hell is this fun?
Isn't this asking for death?
Just as everyone was startled, a white thing suddenly emerged from Xu Yunfan's body, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Yunfan flew into the sky.
"Look, father is flying into the sky." Xiaobao was the only one who didn't know how dangerous it would be if Xu Yunfan fell. His little chest heaved up and down, and he clapped his hands excitedly, pointing at Xu Yunfan flying in the sky, and shaking Lin Duoduo beside him, "Duoduo, look, father is flying ~ Father~~" Xiaobao shouted and ran after Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan controlled the paraglider to land, and flew up again when Xiaobao was about to catch up.
The father and son were having fun playing, while the others were both terrified and excited. They also wanted to play, but it was something they had never heard of or seen before, so they didn't know how to play it even if they wanted to.
"Dad, Xiaobao also wants to fly. Dad will take Xiaobao to fly!" Xiaobao asked in a baby voice. Xu Yunfan stopped and carried Xiaobao on his chest with a sling.
With Xiaobao around, Xu Yunfan didn't dare to fly too high. Xiaobao shouted excitedly, and Xiao Hengzhi below was scared.
Xu Yunfan, who had been playing extreme sports for two years, wanted to teach Qi Xiu Ze and the others how to play. Xiao Hengzhi just felt that young people nowadays were living too comfortably and were looking for trouble and were rushing to seek death. He immediately pulled a wooden stick from the side of the road.
Because of Xu Yunfan's success, he became completely famous among the playful young masters in Beijing, and many people invited him out to play every day.
It would be strange if Xiao Heng could feel at ease.
He wiped his face and said, "You should listen to your father. It's obvious that the boy is not one to sit still. The provincial examination will be in two days. Take these books back and show them to him."
Xiao Hengzhi has been busy taking care of Qin Feiyu and Xu Yunfan's exam recently, so he really hasn't found the time to assess him: "The academy exam is different from the provincial exam. Although he got the top score in the academy exam, there are many scholars taking the provincial exam. These people have been preparing for it for several years."
Qin Run didn't dare to say anything. What could he say? Xu Yunfan couldn't sit still at all. Sometimes he was diligent and motivated, but he was afraid if he didn't motivate him for a day.
Seeing Qin Run lowering his head and not saying anything, Xiao Hengzhi felt a heart attack.
Since Qin Run can't be relied upon, I have to come by myself.
Xiao Hengzhi didn't even care about Qin Feiyu. A few days before the provincial examination, he stayed with Xu Yunfan every day from morning to night, forcing him to read again and again.
Xu Yunfan didn't dare to get angry or say anything about this. When he just sat down, he moved his butt around, scratching his face or his hair. Xiao Hengzhi sat aside and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you afraid of pressing your shit? Didn't you take a shower last night? Do you want me to boil some water for you and scrape it with a kitchen knife?"
Xu Yunfan said weakly and pretending to be pitiful: "...Father-in-law, I'm not a pig. You are too vulgar in your words. You don't have the bearing of a prince at all. This is not good."
With a loud slap, Xiao Hengzhi, who was already cold and indifferent and not tempted by Xu Yunfan, slapped the desk. "Grace? I'll let you know later that I'm not only ungentlemanly, but I'm also rude. Hurry up, you can't sleep until you finish reading these books today."
Xiao Hengzhi was convinced.
No wonder Qin Run couldn't control Xu Yunfan. This kid was really smart and had a photographic memory, but he was a little wild.
But once Xu Yunfan could bear to watch, he even forgot to eat.
Xu Yunfan pursed his lips, and because Xiao Hengzhi was his father-in-law, he moved his butt a few times, took another sip of tea, and rolled his eyes a few times. After a while, he finally calmed down.
Xiao Hengzhi's heart was full of complicated feelings. He could keep an eye on Xu Yunfan for a few days, but he couldn't stay with him forever.
If he doesn't watch over this child, he's really afraid that one day...
Xiao Hengzhi thought, maybe he should find a job for Xu Yunfan. If he is busy, he will not be able to wander around. Some things do not necessarily have to wait until Xu Yunfan finishes the imperial examination. It seems that he has to go to the palace when he has time.
At this time, Xu Yunfan still didn't know what Xiao Hengzhi was planning. If he knew, he would probably regret it so much that he would never dare to play this game again even if he was beaten to death.
Qin Feiyu and Qin Run stared at the door for a long time. It would be a lie to say they didn't feel sad.
Before going to bed that night, Qin Feiyu discussed with Xiao Hengzhi, "Don't push the child so hard. Yunfan is very smart. I heard from Run'er that he said he used to read a lot of books on this subject with his grandmother and even studied it with her. If you push him like this, it might backfire."
Xiao Hengzhi, who was undressing, sighed, "This kid is indeed very smart, but if I don't keep an eye on him, Qi Xiu Ze and the others will return to the capital. Believe it or not, if I don't keep an eye on him, he might jump into the lake tomorrow. After all, he already went to heaven a few days ago."
Qin Feiyu stopped talking. Although Xu Yunfan said that he had played it before and was a professional, he almost fainted when he heard that he not only played it alone but also brought Xiaobao with him. But Xiaobao was so happy. Fang Zixi said nothing and looked indifferent.
From this, it can be seen that he still overestimated Fang Zixi, and this person is not a reliable person.
"Thank you for your hard work. You have to keep an eye on him. What if he loses an arm or a leg?"
Xiao Hengzhi waved his hand, "It's only natural. Half brother-in-law, half son-in-law."
Xu Yunfan started reading at the age of three and he never put down his book. He had read countless history books, medical books, miscellaneous notes, etc. To be honest, if he didn't have a good brain, he wouldn't dare to be so wasteful.
The imperial examination was not easy. You should know that several great poets in history failed to even become the top scorer.
Xu Yunfan did not underestimate the imperial examination. Instead, he had studied it specially under the influence of his grandmother. Even though the Dayan Dynasty was a fictional dynasty, when he was working as a teacher at Qingfeng Academy, Xu Yunfan found that it didn't matter if it was fictional. The imperial examination system and the examination contents were different, but they were basically the same.
However, facing Xiao Hengzhi, even though he said he was sure, Xiao Hengzhi still refused to let him go.
In August, the time for the provincial examination arrived.
Xu Yunfan was finally released from prison.
The last time Xu Yunfan took the first place in the college examination, everyone was wary of this dark horse that suddenly appeared and broke through the siege.
In the last academy examination, everyone was still guessing who would get the first place. In this provincial examination, no one dared to discuss it anymore. The candidates who had heard of Xu Yunfan's name looked at Xu Yunfan. With Qi Xiu Ze and others present, it was naturally difficult for He Fan and others to come over.
Xu Yunfan raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. Instead, Shen Ruxi patted his shoulder and said, "Yunfan, there are quite a few scholars participating in the provincial examination this year, but you don't need to be nervous. Just perform normally."
"I know, you guys have a good attitude."
"Of course. It would be great if we pass the exam, but it's also good to gain experience if we fail. We are still young, there is no rush." Lin Xiaoran thought to himself. They were only nineteen years old. Although they could not compare with Xu Yunfan, in the Great Yan Dynasty, there were few Wenquxing who passed the exam to become a scholar at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Even those who passed the exam to become a juren were mostly twenty-five or twenty-six. If Xu Yunfan performed well this time and became a juren at the age of eighteen, wow, the Xu family's ancestral graves would probably be filled with smoke.
Once he goes in, Xu Yunfan will have to stay for a few more days.
The weather in August was hot and stuffy. Not only the invigilators, but also the students were extremely tired.
Qi Xiu Ze and his companions came this year with the mentality of giving it a try. Jiang Lanfang's expectation for them was just to let them accumulate experience, but Jiang Lanfang was optimistic about Xu Yunfan, and even wrote a letter specifically for Xie Baizhou to take back to Beijing and hand over to Xu Yunfan.
Sitting in the examination room, the sleepy Xu Yunfan just hoped that it would be over quickly. If he didn't go out, Qin Run's pickled beans would probably not be as sour as his.
When the invigilator collected the papers, Xu Yunfan picked up the basket and ran away.
But after leaving the examination room, Xu Yunfan looked around and saw one carriage after another, but he didn't see any one coming to pick him up.
Seeing Xu Yunfan standing blankly outside the examination room, watching the carriages leave one after another, Lin Xiaoran walked over quickly, "What's wrong? Didn't Run'er and the others come to pick you up?"
Qi Xiu Ze glanced at him and was puzzled. "That shouldn't be the case. How could Run Ge'er not come for such an important matter?"
"Did something happen?" Xie Baizhou guessed.
Xu Yunfan frowned and said, "Take me back to see him."
"Okay," Shen Ruxi got on the carriage first, "Hurry up and get on, let's go take a look."
Several people rushed to Xiao Qin's house in a hurry, and met Lord Qin on the way.
"Grandpa, what happened at home?" Xu Yunfan didn't ask why no one came to pick him up, but was concerned about his family.
Seeing Xu Yunfan's nervousness, Lord Qin hurriedly said, "It's Zixi."
Xu Yunfan's brain buzzed, and without waiting for Lord Qin to catch his breath, he hurriedly asked, "What happened to my brother Fang?"
"Don't worry, just listen to me. Your brother Fang was busy on the farm today and vomited during dinner. I thought he had no appetite, but this afternoon he almost fainted in the fields. This scared Run'er. The doctor said it was due to heat stroke, and Run'er is still taking care of him."
They have been really busy recently. Qin Feiyu is in poor health, so Xu Yunfan asked the factory to build a thresher. As soon as the thresher came out, orders came to Qin Run like crazy. There were too many orders, so they had to find two more timber partners.
Xu Yunfan bought a piece of mountain that was once the site of the Food City. According to Xu Yunfan's request, Qin Run was busy going out early and coming back late every day, and DuangDuang invested tens of thousands of taels in it.
Qin Run asked, what is this for?
What are you doing?
It's time to make money.
With the "lesson" of the Food City, no matter what Xu Yunfan does now, others no longer call him stupid or worry that he will lose money. They will be very smart now. Once Xu Yunfan spends money, you don't have to think about it to know that this kid has thought of another way to make money. Spending tens of thousands of taels now may seem like a lot, but believe it or not, once the business opens, he will definitely make back a hundred times what he spent at the beginning.
Xu Yunfan did not rely on anyone but himself. He not only established connections with the Ministry of Works and the Minister of Agriculture, but also made a fortune from Zheng Daxueshi.
With all these connections in the imperial court, it would be difficult for Xu Yunfan to lose money.
There is also the young master of the Qin family. He is not satisfied with having a food city that can make a fortune every day and dozens of factories in the northern suburbs. After the food city made money, Qin Run invested the money in other places.
I heard that he opened shops in every prefecture, state and county. No wonder, why the rich are getting richer, isn't this just money making money?
Yesterday, Jing Mingze found Qin Run and said that the rice in the farm was growing so well that he wanted to save the seeds. He also needed to have a good talk with Qin Run about rice field fish, as well as how to plant the intercropping model and what to pay attention to.
Fu Qingyu had been here before, but he had been waiting. Now that the autumn harvest had come and there was a bumper crop of grain, he immediately sent Jing Mingze over.
Qin Run had no choice. Jing Mingze came with the emperor's order and there was no time to waste. He was busy in the morning. In the afternoon, Fang Zixi fainted and Qin Run didn't even remember to pick up Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Fang must have had a heat stroke. During the autumn harvest, everyone worked against the clock, fearing a heavy rain. They didn't even have time to rest. This won't do."
Lord Qin: "It's already good now. With the thresher, threshing is much easier."
Xu Yunfan nodded, "Indeed."
When Xu Yunfan was in Dali Village, he saw villagers harvesting rice. Threshing alone was a physically demanding job that took a lot of effort and strain on the waist. That's when he came up with the idea of a thresher. Without a thresher, how long would it take to thresh the nearly 100 acres of rice on the farm?
After returning home, Xu Yunfan didn't bother to clean up and went to see Fang Zixi first, "Brother Fang, are you okay?"
Fang Zixi, whose face looked slightly pale and weak, shook her head. "It's okay. The doctor said she was probably just tired."
"Brother Fang, why did you go to the farm?" Xu Yunfan thought to himself that Fang Zixi really had no self-awareness. The young master of the Fang family had never done housework and had been raised in luxury. How could he be fit to work in the fields? Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Fang Zixi naturally knew that she was not helping and was causing everyone to worry, so she said awkwardly, "The farm has been busy lately, and the restaurant hasn't been so busy, so I'll take a few kids to check it out."
When he saw this, he was surprised to see that Lin Duoduo, who was not even as tall as his thigh, had gone to the fields. As good friends, Qin An and several other little guys clamored to help, so Fang Zixi followed them. However, he really overestimated himself.
Xu Yunfan laughed, "Angel'er and Muel'er are used to working. If they want to help, let them do it. You don't have to worry about it. Just leave them there."
Since arriving in the capital, there has been no academy for Qin An and the others to attend, so they have been taught by Xu Yunfan himself. They have exams these days, and Xiao Hengzhi is forcing them to read before the exams, so he has no time to assign homework.
During the few days that Xu Yunfan was in prison, they went to the farm every day. Even Xiaobao, who could do nothing, followed the adults to pick up wheat ears. His diligence was so gratifying that it made people cry.
"The kids have been working hard these days." Fang Zixi sighed.
Xu Yunfan glanced at Fang Zixi. "I don't know if they've lost weight, but Brother Fang, I think you've really lost weight. Have you lost your appetite recently? Or are you too tired from work?"
